Pros

There are some very talented people who work at Mumsnet that you can learn a-lot from.

Cons

I saw senior management essentially bully their staff. The former CEO no chair would belittle people in meeting and on some occasions make them cry. Quite a toxic culture at the top that filters down to other managers. Feedback is ignored usually and most people will keep their head down to avoid the firing line. Hopefully the the senior management will see the light one day and treat their staff with respect rather than motivating them with fear.

Pros

Mumsnet has a fantastic culture, clear vision and strong purpose. It's a relatively small business by media standards, but punches above it's weight in lots of respects. Work is varied and interesting, and you get the chance to be involved in lots of different projects. Teams across the business work well together and there are no silos. Everyone feels like they have a say and can put ideas forward to senior management. Good benefits overall and lots of flexibility. Mumsnet, as you might imagine, is a great place for parents to work, as they fully understand the realities of balancing work and family life!

Cons

Due to it's size, Mumsnet doesn't have set salary bands or standard linear career paths. This means it might not be the place to work for those who expect this. However lots of people thrive at Mumsnet, and there are plenty of examples of people being promoted quickly and frequently, moving across different teams and areas of the business.
